An optimistic Radio Japan report had robot nurses soon to be working in old peoples' homes and nuclear power stations. They'd flip old people over at night and take their temperatures, and fetch coffee in nuclear power stations.

The old peoples' plan has now been abandoned in favor of nurses from the Philippines, and the nuclear power station operators will get their own coffee.

EDH, you do realise that Ultraman was a children's show designed to be watched by the whole family...and that many episodes were even more tongue-in-cheek than its contemporary, Batman. Ultraman was never mean, and often tricked his monster opponents in ways that children would easily understand (like tickling them). It's MEANT to be a funny fight. Just one of the charms of the show when seen today.
